With autumn in full swing now it was only a matter of days until the final herbs could be collected at the garden until winter would wipe the lands dry of their colourful leaves. Soon she would have to travel further south to try and gather any herbs at all, and even then there was no telling just how terrible the winters were in these new lands. This would be their first full year here, and as far as she knew there as no one around to tell her how to prepare.
But that was quite common for her now a days wasn't it? No one to ask, no one to teach her either. The only shoulder she was able to lean on in any way was now too focussed on her own heartache and to come to @Izumi with every personal matter would simply not be fair. So she did what she could. Doing her best and learning along the way.
Many of the herbs here were already wilted and dying, some could still be of use if they used them up quickly while others might be salvageable if dried immediately. She wanted to give some more gifts to Vanderfell's druid, but today was not the day (set during Cirilla's thread). Too much had been placed on her plate and perhaps she could do a trip soon before winter gave no more flowers for her to offer.
A little blue thing caught her eye amongst the fading greens, browns and greys of autumn. Its bright and shinning hues were hard to miss as she approached the strange thing that seemingly appeared out of nowhere as it certainly wasn't here before. Approaching, Reiko was enraptured with it. Only bringing more joy to her as the scent of @Quicksilver lingered around it.
Was it him?
Was he giving her something in return?
With a quick look around to see if he still lingered to retrieve it, she would wait a little while longer. Leaving the stone be while she focused on her tasks, expecting him to return for it... but as the sun rose high into the sky and there was still no sign of the silver white man - it had to be hers to take, was it not? A gift for her to cherish.
Scooping it up while carefully trying to hold the herbs as well, she would carry them all back home. The herbs would be organized into their respective places, while the stone would be displayed within her den. A silent reminder of what could have been. A saudade memento.
